Il discorso religioso dall'italiano al romeno. Premesse strategiche per accompagnare e coordinare alcune traduzioni di letture spirituali del testo biblico
The Religious Discourse: from Italian to Romanian. Strategic Guidelines for Supporting and Coordinating Translations of Spiritual Readings from the Bible

Summary/Abstract: When preparing for translating a series of religious texts – some explaining books of the Bible, others referring to the experience of prayer – it becomes necessary to explore translation strategies and the resources of the Romanian language for specific religious purposes. Following the union of a part of the Transylvanian Orthodox Church with the Catholic Church, certain members of this new Christian expression maintained that the Catholic identity should also be manifested through specific lexical choices. Consequently, the Romanian Christian lexis became confessionally polarized. Drawing upon a conceptualization of the translational act aligned with contemporary biblical exegetical theories, this study seeks to identify solutions to transcend, in translation, current confessional polarizations, so as to make the translated texts acceptable to as wide an audience as possible. Eugen Munteanu's study, Lexicologie biblică românească, will serve as the primary reference for lexical resources and methodological criteria.
